You are most welcome to this school staff support thread to get us through stressful times. It is meant for school staff only – a sort of room of requirement. Baiters, haters, goaders and bashers can jog on somewhere else.

If you are NOT staff and just have a general education query please start your own thread.

You can play here if you are a member of one the following groups-

-ABBA - anti bashers and baiting association
-SWAB - school workers against bashers
-SWOT - school workers opposing teacherbashers
-STARS - schoolworkers together against ranting + slurs

Do not give ‘The Every twat for Themselves mob’ the staffroom password as a number of them are operating in an alternative reality.

No DfE muppets allowed

Other requirements for staff room entry include the ability to find the staff room, the ability to find a clean mug in the staff room, knowledge of the photocopier codes, and the ability to sniff out where the toffee vodka is hidden.

If you are fed up with cakes and biscuits there is now a cheeseboard on offer

If you come with a stick to goad us then that is not allowed in the staffroom and you will receive a detention

Oh, that really isn't fair to have100% live lessons, especially for our students disadvantaged in different ways. What are they thinking? Are we being led by people who are incredibly removed from the realities of modern day teaching and learning? At the moment, sharing my lesson between students in school and students at home works because at least I get some real time interaction and, generally, isolating students are at home without siblings that they have to share a device with. People really are fuckwits...

@Piggywaspushed

Oh now bloody Anne Longfield tweet full screen.

Anne what you should be calling for is FUNDING : and not just of schools. And SPEAKING to schools about how to keep those children in school SAFELY.

You just want us to do every jo the police, the care sector, social care and MH services no longer do.

Thought the same.

Vulnerable to stay home! Vulnerable teachers?

Cracklefraggle · 31/10/2020 19:11

School is the best place for children to be - unless they are having to isolate for 2 weeks at a moment's notice - FFS!

Vulnerable to stay home! Vulnerable teachers?
I very much doubt that Confused.
monkeytennis97 · 31/10/2020 19:11

Fuck you Boris.

Piggywaspushed · 31/10/2020 19:11

Clinically extremely vulnerable. No one gives a shit about the vulnerable.

MrsHerculePoirot · 31/10/2020 19:12

I thought he said those that shielded should work at home if they can but they’re not going to tell anyone to shield again. And they should just be extra careful about meeting people.

Cracklefraggle · 31/10/2020 19:13

This is the best piece of fiction I have heard in a long while!!!

Yes it was worded very very poorly
Frlrlrubert · 31/10/2020 19:14

Stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives. But keep going to stand in a room with 30 other adults for the purpose of education. Cheers Boris.

Cracklefraggle · 31/10/2020 19:14

Can't imaging how bad this would all be if I was sober Halloween Grin

MrsHerculePoirot · 31/10/2020 19:15

Also we’re like Belgium, France and Germany - except isn’t Belgium closing schools to older pupils? And Germany doing something (blended) for older pupils? Or have I made that up?

Cracklefraggle · 31/10/2020 19:15

Imagine even - kind of proves the point Blush

TheHoneyBadger · 31/10/2020 19:15

Absolute piss take.

DreamingofBrie · 31/10/2020 19:17

Dh has made me a massive gin, which is certainly helping me get through this press conference Hmm.

ohthegoats · 31/10/2020 19:20

I'm not watching, but partner just text me 'This is a fucking carcrash'.

motherrunner · 31/10/2020 19:21

What a fucking arsehole.

(May have had a few)

ImperialLeather00 · 31/10/2020 19:21

I feel so depressed!

@Piggywaspushed

Clinically extremely vulnerable. No one gives a shit about the vulnerable.
No one ever has. They slipped out of people's minds after the extremely vulnerable group was defined. It's quite noticeable on here that when people talk about protecting the vulnerable and letting the virus spread among the rest of the population they mean only the CEV and not the CV.

Would love to see how far back Witty and Vallence's eyes rolled when Johnson said no responsible PM could ignore the numbers on the graphs.

motherrunner · 31/10/2020 19:22

“Least bad solutions”.

Sure you wouldn’t be so glib if you were facing 150 teens a day Whitty!

RigaBalsam · 31/10/2020 19:22

Feel so down. I just text my HOD

Do you think the government understand the mental strain and psychological strain on teachers being in rooms and corridors full of people while the world is locked down? While they sit in a spacious parliament?

She said no.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 31/10/2020 19:24

It does feel like his worst presser yet, which is saying something.
motherrunner · 31/10/2020 19:26

DH just sent me this ...
